Heat Transport across Dissimilar Materials
All interfaces offer resistance to heat transport. As the size of a device or structure approaches nanometer lengthscales, the contribution of the interface thermal resistance often becomes comparable to the intrinsic thermal resistance offered by the device or structure itself. In many …

Energy and heat transport in molecules
We investigate the effect of thermalization and boundary conductance of the various molecular junctions using the Fermi's golden rule type of theoretical, computational arrangements. The studied systems have a wide range of advanced technological application. The quantification of the energy …

Dynamics of global ocean heat transport variability
… used to estimate the time-dependent global ocean heat transport and investigate its dynamics. The north-south heat transport is the prime manifestation of the ocean’s role in global climate, but understanding of its variability has been fragmentary owing to uncertainties in observational analyses, …

Theory of Charge and Heat Transport Mechanisms in Nanodevices
… we pursue mechanisms in the nonequilibrium transport of charge and heat, to elucidate nanodevice operation, and explore fundamental theoretical questions. The thesis is divided into two parts. Part I explores in detail the role of incoherent effects on the charge transport behaviour of …

Heat transport by phonons in crystalline materials and nanostructures
… dissertation presents experimental studies of heat transport by phonons in crystalline materials and nanostructures, and across solid-solid interfaces. Particularly, this dissertation emphasizes advancing understanding of the mean-free-paths (i.e., the distance phonons propagate without being …

Ocean mixing and heat transport beneath Antarctic ice shelves
… to provide insight into sub-ice shelf mixing and heat transport processes across a range of temporal and spatial scales. We begin by examining tidal currents and their influence on basal melt rate variability, using a multi-year dataset of oceanographic mooring measurements paired with autonomous …

Mechanisms of heat transport through the floor of the equatorial Pacific Ocean
The equatorial Pacific heat flow low, a major oceanic geothermal anomaly centered on the equatorial sediment bulge, was investigated using deeply penetrating heat flow probes (6-11 meters penetration) within three detailed surveys (400 km2) and along over 10,000 km of continuous seismic profiles …
